Katherine (Derby)

Seeking a gaming group

Hi all! I've been the forever DM playing 5e for about 10 years now but my group are all married/have kids/have puppies they are training now so I'm looking for a new group to join as a player (I'm getting too old and tired to DM lmao)

Mark (Buxton)

Seeking a gaming group

Never played before, but interested in joining a new or existing group

EnigmaPolarBear (Derby)

Seeking a gaming group

Hi 👋 fellow TTRPG players. I am looking to try find a group to play with either as player or DM. I have about a decade of DND5e experience (however I'm definitely used to all the rules from old 5e), and about 5 years of other systems. I am a forever DM (which isn't a big issue for me, I enjoy telling/creating stories with players) and have most recently been interested in other game systems than DND, specifically ones that are more storytelling or collaborative. My current favourite game is Ironsworn/Starforged, but I have played lots of systems at this point that have all been fun. I am looking for either a series of oneshots/short campaigns in different systems/rotating DM's or for a longer campaign. I would be happy to run these as well as be a player. If any of that is off interest please get in contact, I am mostly on Discord but can also do other forms such as WhatsApp.

Sandra (Hathersage)

Seeking a book club

A bit of an introvert - I can spend (ahem, days) alot time on my own, love my home, my garden, my cat. But also enjoy chatting with friends over a coffee and would like to meet some other bibliophiles.

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

by Lisa See | Learn more and buy

It transports you to rural China in the 19th Century. Foot binding is still happening, and although we see this as a barbaric practice today, we are drawn into the culture, religion and beliefs of the day. Really interesting and although in places sad, also riveting.

Sandra (Hathersage)

Seeking a book club

Let's get this out first - not a fan of Sci-Fi or dystopian, aliens etc. Love a good whodunnit, historical drama and "easy reading". Just finished "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See. Brilliant read. Would like to join a book club and hopefully make some new friends?

Dot H (Ashbourne)

Seeking a book club

I like well written modern fiction - William Boyd and Graham Swift for example - and also fond of short stories. I am open minded and nterested in some other genres and will give most things a try.

Retired teacher. Hoping to make some time for reading. Love a wide range of fiction - as long as it's well written. Hoping to meet like minded readers.

Sue recommends:

The wolf and the dove

by Kathleen woodiwiss | Learn more and buy

It starts with a brief look at 1066 England, and develops into a love story between a Saxon woman and a Norman knight.

Rebecca (Heanor)

Seeking a book club

I love reading romance, historical and fantasy books. I would love to meet a few times a month to discuss different books, get new recommendations and meet new people. I work as a primary school teacher so evenings and weekends are all open for reading 😁😁
